What Did You Get for Christmas? 2020 Edition

PlayStation 2

Meh, it was bound to happen sooner or later, but what did you end up getting for Christmas this year?

I got $100, two $75 gift cards to some clothing stores and a new pair of slippers myself from my parents, plus some Steam cash from my brothers.

Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here!

I'm an adult, I don't get Christmas-gifts. I did buy myself Horizon Zero Dawn for PC, though, so maybe one could count that as a gift to myself?

My wife asked me what do i want,and since i have mostly everything i need,and the things i want are just for sake of wanting and i dont need them,i told her i want 2 cans of Pringles and 2 Coca Cola Zero.

She also told me i can buy my self PC which you dont hear often from her cause she is not into gaming and shit,and this stupid pandemic has all my local shops sold out on hardware.

Adults get gifts for the holidays.   My biological mom and stepdad, my dad, my brother in law's parents, my sister and brother in law, friends, and even my fiancee got me gifts for Jul/Yule.  I even gift other adults gifts.  o.O

Sure, some adults do. Not all, including myself. I also don't give Christmas-gifts to anyone other than my mum.

I didn't officially get anything yet, but I do know I'm supposed to receive

 

  • A dual Monitor stand
  • Microcenter Giftcard

Supposed to get those from my sisters. Bless their souls.

 

I built my own Christmas gift at the beginning of December with this Leonidas PC posted in my sig. Runs like smooth butter. Couldn't be happier. Sidenote, hopefully my brother surprises me with two big booty thots and liquor. 🤣

I should be getting a new keyboard later today (Razer Blackwidow or Blackwidow Elite), but I don't have it yet.

I mostly speak from my own past experience from similar problems. My solution may not work for you, but I'll always try my best to help as much as I can. If you want me to see your reply, make sure to quote my comment or mention me @WaggishOhio383, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

An hour (so far, more to come) of pain installing my brother's new Ryzen setup, wrist pain from that, and now I have to reinstall Windows because even though the drive is detected, it won't boot from it. Fun!

 

 

But I also got some Fiio FH1Ss, two more 4GB sticks of RAM for myself so I can finally run in triple channel, and some other things including a "keyboard" I will probably post somewhere here later.

Quote me to see my reply!

For myself, spent some money on loot boxes in World of Tanks and a Noctua hoodie. I hardly ever know what to get for others in my family as they don't tell me and when I ask, they don't know. Got a Christmas ornament, Spider Man Bronze statue, and the LEGO International Space Station from my mom. I pretty much already knew this as this has been in the process since last February.

Well... Corvette history book and Tannenberg fps game.

 

I got a new ROG XXL mouse mat for myself as well if that counts. :P 

Corvette history book is probably going to be the closest I get at owning a Vette lol.

Switching out a 120Gb Samsung 840 EVO, adding another NVMe and I guess I will bling out my rig. Still have another gift exchange and a 2Tb 860 EVO was on my list but socks and underwear are fine.

Everything else pretty much pales in comparison to this, so:

 

I got engaged!

 

We'd been committed to it for a little while, but we made it official on the 24th. A way to end a lousy year on a good note.

Holy shit, congratulations!
